James Tata reminds me (as a point of departure from his post on Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau) how much I like the album Charlie Haden and Egberto Gismonti In Montreal.
The Pat Metheny Group’s American Garage, released in 1980, is, I suppose, a crossover record, but was my introduction to jazz (could it have been 27 years ago? Yikes!). Although I quickly moved on from his brand of jazz, he’s always worth paying attention to because he’s a precise and elegant musician.
As far as the Haden’s work with the Brazilian composer/pianist/guitarist Egberto Gismonti goes, it’s one of his finest collaborations partly due to the tension, for lack of a better description, in Gismonti’s music.
